D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the

Contractor but is jointly owned.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

SPAR – 193601 013216 - 2

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

The status date of each schedule update shall be the 7th day preceding the progress payment request date.

2. Procedure: The Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer each month at a

Construction Schedule update meeting to review actual progress made through the status date of the Construction Schedule update, including dates activities were started and/or completed and the percentage of work completed on each activity started and/or completed.

3. Reports: Concurrent with making revisions to schedule, prepare tabulated reports showing the following:

a. Identification of activities that have changed.

b. Changes in early and late start dates.

c. Changes in early and late finish dates.

d. Changes in activity durations in workdays.

e. Changes in the critical path.

f. Changes in total float or slack time.

g. Changes in the Contract Time.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

5. Progress Payments: The monthly updating of the Construction Schedule shall be an integral part of the process upon which progress payments will be made under this contract. If the contractor fails to provide schedule updates or revisions, then a portion of his monthly payment may be retained until such corrections have been made.

C. Distribution: Distribute copies of accepted schedule to Contracting Officer, Contracting

Officers Representative, Construction Management Representative, Subcontractors, testing and inspecting agencies, and other parties identified by Contractor with a need-to-know schedule responsibility.

1. Post copies in Project meeting rooms and temporary field offices.

2. When revisions are made, distribute updated schedules to the same parties and post in the same locations. Delete parties from distribution when they have completed their assigned portion of the Work and are no longer involved in performance of construction activities.

D. Construction Schedule Revisions:

1. Required Revisions: If, as a result of the monthly schedule update, it appears the

Construction Schedule no longer represents the actual prosecution and progress of the work, the Contracting Officer will request, and the Contractor shall submit, a revision to the Construction Schedule. The Contractor may also request reasonable revisions to the

Construction Schedule in the event the Contractor's planning for the work is revised. If the Contractor desires to make changes in the Construction Schedule, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing, stating the reason for the proposed revision.

Accepted revisions will be incorporated into the Construction Schedule at the next monthly schedule update.

2. Procedure: If revision to the Construction Schedule is contemplated, the Contractor or

Contracting Officer shall so advise the other in writing at least seven calendar days prior to the next monthly schedule update meeting, describing the revision and reasons for the revision. Government-requested revisions to the Construction Schedule will be presented in writing to the Contractor, who shall respond in writing within seven calendar days.

3.2 TIME IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS CHANGES DLAYS AND

CONTRACTOR REQUESTS:

1. Requirements: When contract modifications or changes are initiated, delays are experienced, or the Contractor desires to revise the Construction Schedule, the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer a written time impact analysis illustrating the influence of each modification, change, delay, or Contractor request on the contract time.

2. Time Extensions: Activity delays shall not automatically mean that an extension of the contract time is warranted or due the Contractor. It is possible that a modification, change, or delay will not affect existing critical path activities or cause non-critical activities to become critical. A modification, change, or delay may result in only absorbing a part of the available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the

Construction Schedule, thereby not causing any effect on the contract time. Time extensions will be granted in accordance with the terms of the contract.

3. Extension of the contract time will be granted only to the extent the equitable time adjustments to the activity or activities affected by the modification, change, or delay exceeds the total (positive or zero) float available on a particular activity.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

4. Procedure: Each time impact analysis shall be submitted within the time period stated in a request for proposal, or the time period designated under the clauses entitled Changes or Default. In cases where the Contractor does not submit a written request for extension of time and a time impact analysis within the designated time, it is mutually agreed that the particular modification, change, delay, or Contractor request does not require an extension of the contract time. Upon acceptance, the time impact analysis shall be incorporated into the Construction Schedule at the next monthly schedule update.

5. Contract Modifications: For each proposed contract modification and concurrent with its submission, prepare a time-impact analysis using fragnets to demonstrate the effect of the proposed change on the overall Construction Schedule.
